Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

Highly recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

Scrap my car in Saltash FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Saltash?
Dropdown Icon

The average price for a scrap vehicle in Saltash is £218. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether it gives you the best scrap car deal.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Saltash?
Dropdown Icon

No, you do not need to be present for collection in Saltash. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID and paperwork. Tell us beforehand so the handover can go ahead securely and the booking is not delayed on the collection day.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You will usually need photo ID, proof of address and other evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate or purchase receipt. Ownership checks can take slightly longer before collection and payment can be securely confirmed.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, because UK scrap metal rules prohibit cash payments for scrap vehicles. The agreed amount is sent securely after the vehicle and collection details are checked, giving you a clear payment record and avoiding any cash changing hands at the pickup address itself.

Which areas of Saltash do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all Saltash postcodes, including Latchbrook, Pillmere, St Stephens and Carkeel. Collection can be arranged from a home, workplace, driveway or another safe recovery point. We also cover nearby addresses around the wider Saltash area, so enter your postcode when requesting a quote and the available local collection options will be confirmed directly.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Saltash?
Dropdown Icon

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If the log book is missing, collection may still be possible once alternative ownership evidence is checked. We explain what to prepare beforehand, so the Saltash handover remains properly recorded, straightforward and fully compliant.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification helps remove the previous keeper from the official register and ends any further responsibility for you.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance normally needs to be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender provides clear permission. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact them for a settlement figure or written consent before arranging the final collection safely with our team in Saltash.

Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Saltash?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Saltash. A failed or expired MOT does not prevent collection, provided the vehicle can be accessed safely for recovery. Enter the registration and postcode, then choose an available collection slot once you accept the quote.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep a private number plate before the vehicle is scrapped. Apply to retain or transfer the registration through the DVLA before final processing. The plate must be removed from the vehicle record before end-of-life paperwork is completed, so arrange the retention before your booked local collection date.
